Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 26 good, 1 exceptional, 6 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
JK Healthcare Limited runs Weald Hall Residential Home, a residential care home in Epping, Essex with room for 39 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Essex has 22 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in September 2026. Its rating before that, in October 2022, was the same. Ratings in Essex are typically about 5 years old, which makes this one newer than most. CQC found some shortfalls in “involving people to manage risks”, one of 6 standards out of 33 scored below good.
